The Skyhold Academy

"Children!" yelled Cassandra, storming into Josephine's office. "There are children at Skyhold."

"Oh, my apologies! I neglected to tell you." Josie looked up from her work abashedly. "We have received many refugee families over the past few weeks. Hinterlands refugees, victims of the civil war, people from the alienages and slums. Their children all seem quite sweet."

"Sweet?" cried Cassandra. "I was just practising when three of them ran past me. I could have killed them. And rather than apologizing for their mistake, they dubbed me"Eyeball" and sprinted away.

Josephine sighed. "They are rather rambunctious, I am afraid."

Cassandra scowled. "I think that 'incorrigible' would be a more suitable term."

Leliana quietly strolled in, smiling slightly. "Do you not like children , Cassandra?"

Cassandra sighed. "I do not mind well-behaved ones. But these seem more like a group of apostates than the children of Inquisition members.

Josephine nodded. "You have not been the only one to raise concerns, but I am afraid that I am at a loss as to what to do about the issue."

"We could start a school." said Leliana, thoughtfully. "It would not be an academy in Minrathous, but it would at least keep the children occupied."

Josephine nodded. "Mother Giselle has asked to be provided with some new duties. Perhaps she could teach the classes."

"Actually, It would be helpful for the children to know some fighting skills." observed Cassandra. "In the case of another attack,we do not want them to be defenceless. "

"An excellent idea!" Josephine cried. "And it would look most favourably upon the Inquisition if our children were to be well-educated."

"It's settled then." replied Leliana. "As long as Cullen is in agreement, we will start-"

Just then, they heard a terrible shriek on the battlements. The three women all rushed out to see what had occurred, only to find a distraught Cullen sitting with his head in his hands.

Seeing them, Cullen stood up quickly. He attempted to look as stern as possible.

"Some of those children have stolen some..um...important military supplies. It is vital that they are returned immediately."

"Relax, Cullen." said Leliana. "I am sure that the soldiers will find them."

Just then, a scout raced up to Cullen, a strange bottle in his hand.

"Sir!" he shouted. "We have recovered the artifact the children took."

"Good work, soldier." said Cullen,taking the bottle hurriedly.

Cassandra looked confused. "Is that...hair product?"

"No!" said Cullen, a bit too quickly. "It is a rare weapons product, used for the trebuchets. I should..I should go inspect them now."

"Wait!" cried Josephine. "How would you feel about establishing an Inquisition school?"

Cullen nodded stiffly. "Ah, that sounds like a excellent idea. It would certainly get the children out of our hair, er, out of ourway. Now, if you'll excuse me-"

Cullen then quickly walked away, clutching the bottle to his chest.

Josephine smiled. "Well, then, I will talk to Mother Giselle at once."

Leliana grinned deviously. "Perhaps she could get Cullen to give some tips on haircare.
